Volvo XC70.

These new photos of the all-new Volvo XC70 give us a bit more of the new Volvo PHEV. As it is longer than the current XC-60, it does have a slightly more wagon feel to it. Although not as attractive as Volvo’s current V90 and V60, the new model will be officially launched in China next month.

The frameless doors are a departure from current Volvo models. It is also something featured in the Lynk & Co 08. As I mentioned earlier, the new Volvo CX70 and the Link & Co 08 are related models from the Geely family.

The design of the new SUV is very clean and instantly recognized as a new Volvo. I personally think it looks great so far. Ad so much better than the blaoted and sad-looking new ES90 “sedan”. Which looks more like a turtle than an expensive sedan.

No interior photos and not many specs have been released yet. The official EV range is 200km, or 125 miles in the local test cycle. Which again could still be almost 100 miles in the US. Beating everyone else in the segment.

Let’s really hope Volvo finds a way to bring this over here. As it seems, the huge EV range (for a PHEV model) as well as the size would give them quite a hit in the US.
